PALO ALTO, Calif., April 3 /PRNewswire/ -- At San Francisco's Venture
Frogs Restaurant, you can browse through a plate of Industry Standard
Vegetarian Skewers. Sink your teeth into an Inktomi Asian Burger. Or, sample
Crescendo Ventures Ahi Tuna, the latest addition to the menu at the
Internet-themed pan-Asian restaurant.
Crescendo Ventures, a Palo Alto-based global venture capital firm, chose
the Ahi Tuna from the list of dishes after an extensive due diligence process.
In this case, that meant a dozen or so of the firm's partners and associates
traveling to the restaurant and sampling almost every item on the menu. Ahi
Tuna came out the clear winner.
"It's absolutely delicious," said Victoria Lewis, director of corporate
communications at Crescendo Ventures. "The return on your investment is
definitely worth the trip up to the City, and we're thrilled to be part of
this tradition."
Venture Frogs Restaurant, located at 1000 Van Ness Ave. at O'Farrell,
features a variety of dishes named after companies that have become synonymous
with the Internet world. Other items include Upside Wild Flavored Wings,
Sun Sichuan Fries and CNET Kyoto Salmon.
"Crescendo Ventures is a perfect fit for our theme," said Richard Hsieh of
Venture Frogs Restaurant. "They are an international firm and they help grow
high-tech companies. The Ahi Tuna is an excellent dish to represent them at
our restaurant."
Those who would like to try the dish from the comfort of their own homes
can order delivery of Crescendo Ventures Ahi Tuna, as well as all other
Venture Frogs menu items, from Kozmo.com, Waiters on Wheels, or Waiter.com.
